Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for anchoring posts of Safety barriers, in particular guardrail arrangements for roads, Paths and the like with the reinforcement bars of a foundation.
  • a device of this type for anchoring Posts of security barriers comprising a one Hollow section having a hollow profile piece for the purpose of inserting a post is open at least at its upper end and its essentially cavity cross section closed on all sides the cross section of the inserted Corresponds to the post for the purpose of holding it, and that on its outside at least one anchoring projection with at least one anchoring opening having.
  • the anchoring projections must be compared to that relatively small cylindrical cavity for the post to be very large opposite the foundation or soil for sufficient force transmission and thus ensuring stability for the hollow profile piece.
  • guardrail arrangements for roads where very high impact forces
  • These devices must be included in particular therefore not suitable as they are only perpendicular to the anchoring projections can absorb acting forces.
  • Guardrail arrangements also called “Highway Guard” or “Railing” are installed on the side of the road and are used to Retain vehicles that have strayed from the road as well as in align their trajectory again. They essentially consist of Longitudinal spars, posts and connecting elements, such as screws, for attaching the longitudinal bars to the posts.
  • the longitudinal spars are out suitable flat or profile steels formed at a height above Soil are arranged the most often the height of the center of gravity occurring vehicles.
  • the posts generally consist of Steel profile parts that are embedded directly in the ground.
  • everyone Post is in via a concrete base, an anchoring plate or the like Walls or other structures on the edge of the street, the viaduct, the Bridge or the like, anchored and requires a lot of work to to be replaced after deformation or damage.
  • DEPS 1 684 640 are holders with bayonet connection for posts with tubular cross section known, secured by a suitable pin are. These holders and the associated mounting and locking system are suitable only for posts with a round tubular cross-section. Besides, hers is Construction too complicated and too close tolerances, which the Function in the event of oxidation or corrosion or even with minor deformations affect.
  • the invention has for its object a device of the beginning mentioned type so that they also absorb high impact forces can.
  • the cavity cross section of the hollow profile piece corresponds, taking into account of a certain game that of the post, which is therefore without excessive force inserted into the hollow section from above and can be pulled out of it, even if it has been bent should be, since the embedded in all directions sufficiently stable Hollow profile piece remains dimensionally stable.
  • the post and the cavity cross section or the hollow profile piece have a U, T or double T profile.
  • the Reinforcement bars of the foundation are used as anchoring element of the hollow profile involved.
  • the hollow profile piece advantageously has at least two anchoring openings of different opening widths on.
  • the hollow profile piece can have a structured, preferably have a longitudinally ribbed outer surface.
  • a seal is provided at the upper end of Hollow section piece for sealing against the inserted post is attachable.
  • This seal can be made using a suitable tool in the gap corresponding to the game between the delimiting the cavity Inner wall surface of the hollow profile piece and the outer surface of the post fillable silicone mass or a prefabricated seal, which is a the hollow profile piece has protruding, protruding lip.
  • the seal also has the function of ensuring that the post fits perfectly in the To ensure hollow profile piece.
  • small height projections can be made on the cavity delimiting inner wall surface of the hollow profile piece and / or the outer surface of the post. To the reusability of the Holprofil Cultures after removing a post, it does not interfere favorable, the projections either not deformable on the inner wall surface of the Form hollow profile piece or deformable on the outer surface of the post.
  • a closure piece is provided, the the upper end of the hollow profile piece during its anchoring in Foundation closed to prevent penetration of foundation material.
  • this can also be done with the same closure piece the lower end of the hollow profile piece are closed.
  • a plug-in holder in the form of a U-shaped Hollow section 1.1 made of aluminum, which consists of two legs 2 and there is a connecting web 3 in which a cavity 4 with also U-shaped cavity section closed on all sides is. Both ends of the hollow section 1.1 are open and one each Locking piece to be described 5.1 lockable.
  • On both sides of the legs 2 and the web 3, i.e. on the inside facing the profile inside 6 and the opposite outside 7 of the hollow section 1.1 are vertical protruding anchoring projections 8 and 9 are formed, which in Extend the longitudinal direction of the hollow section 1.1 over its entire length.
  • Each closure piece 5.1 is made of plastic and includes one elastically deformable rib 12.1, the one of the U-profile of the hollow profile piece 1.1 corresponding U-shaped course and somewhat larger cross-sectional dimensions than the cavity 4 has with a wider flange 13 molded on the same cross-sectional dimensions as the hollow section 1.1 is and after pressing into the cavity 4 to the same delimiting Inner wall surface 14 resiliently, as shown in Fig. 4 using the example of a Closure piece 5 is shown, which is from the closure piece 5.1 by a with cuts 15 divided into several sections with rib 12.2 fork-shaped cross section differs due to a circumferential groove 16 (see Fig. 6).
  • the installation of the safety barrier 19 is as follows: In the manufacture of the reinforcement 22, 23 for the foundation 20, the reinforcement bars 22 are passed through a corresponding number of the anchoring openings 10, 11 of the hollow profile pieces 1.1, which are arranged vertically at predetermined intervals and are closed at both ends with a closure piece 5.1 (see FIG. 2). .
  • the posts 17.1 can also be used after a long period of use a relatively small, necessary for the destruction of the seal 24.1 Force is pulled out of the hollow profile pieces 1.1 and against new ones Posts 17.1 are replaced. To pull it out of the hollow profile pieces 1.1 to facilitate the posts 17.1 with continuous Openings 25 formed, for example, a pulling hook of a winch can be inserted.
  • the hollow profile piece 1.2 shown in Figures 4 and 5 and the inserted Posts 17.2 are different from the one with otherwise the same training Arrangement according to Fig. 1 by a different distribution of the anchoring projections 8 on the hollow section 1.2 and by a number of projections 26.1, that on the outer surface of the post 17.2, in the longitudinal direction thereof trending, are trained. These projections 26.1 are smaller because of them Dimensions deformable.
  • a prefabricated seal 24.2 made of metal or plastic is pressed in a lip protruding out of the hollow profile piece 1.2 and projecting outwards 27 has.
  • the hollow section 1.3 according to FIG. 7 differs in otherwise same construction from that of FIG. 1 by projections 26.2 small dimensions in the area of the leg 2 and the web 3 on the Inner wall surface 14 are formed, and by a double-T profile, the entire surface, i.e. the inside of the profile facing the inside 6 the leg 2 and the web 3 and the mutually facing outer sides 7th the leg 2 is ripped in the longitudinal direction of the hollow section 1.3.
  • the Hollow section 1.3 differs from hollow section 1.1 according to FIG. 1 further by changing the number and arrangement of the anchoring projections 8th.
